You made it my job when you pretended that your "discovery"
was so important and you implied that the rest of us were
lacking something for not noticing it. You should have just
asked what people thought about your idea. You still don't
understand that your idea is no big deal and although the
standard form of the quadratic equation and the formula for
the roots can be found all over the place, its no big deal for
anybody with simple training to figure out how to find the
roots with the equation in any number of forms. We don't
all use the standard form exclusively and we don't always
use the same formula for the solution. You don't honestly
think that I've only used the one formula that you obviously
have been, do you? What should I call a person who would
think such moronic thoughts?
